Overview:

About us:

We are seeking a full time nanny for our 4 month old son. Both Mom and Dad work remotely, with private office space that we spend the majority of our day in.

We have an easygoing dog who spends most of his day napping. Ideal candidates will be comfortable with him hanging out, though we do not expect significant dog care.

We are easygoing and understand that with kids (and dogs!) the best laid plans are often interrupted by reality. We approach childcare through the lens of science and evidence. Our commitment lies in providing a secure, informed, and nurturing environment for our little one to thrive. Our ideal nanny has experience with infants and can bring an informed perspective on activities and ways to engage with him.

• Light dog care (letting him outside, letting him hang out)
